Your furnace is one of the most important elements in any home. With Winnipeg’s extreme temperatures, problems with your furnace should be treated very seriously.
As furnaces age, they require both regular check-ups and repairs. Some issues are small and can wait to be fixed, but others are considered emergency and require immediate attention.
But how do you know if a furnace issue requires an emergency service call?
Here are 5 signs you need emergency furnace repair right now.
Furnace Failure
The first and most obvious sign of trouble is if your furnace doesn’t turn on when it’s supposed to. You might not need immediate action in the warmer seasons, but a non-functioning furnace in the middle of winter is an emergency situation. Even with good insulation, extreme cold weather will quickly drop the temperature inside your home.
Electrical Issues
In rare instances, faulty furnaces can cause electrical issues such as breaker trips, flickering lights, and electrical noises. These can be extremely dangerous and if you notice any of these being affected by your furnace, leave your home immediately until the problem is resolved.
Gas Odor Or C02 Alarm Going Off
If you smell gas or other odd odors in your house, you should call an emergency furnace specialist right away. Gas leaks associated with faulty furnaces can cause sickness and even death. Your carbon monoxide detector is your best defense to warn you if a faulty furnace is releasing dangerous carbon monoxide gases in your home instead of safely venting it outside.
Furnace Blowing Cold Air
If your furnace starts blowing cold air in the wintertime, it can quickly drop the temperature inside your home and should be considered an emergency.
Pilot Light Is Yellow
Your pilot light should look like a strong blue flame. If it’s flickering, weak, or yellow, this indicates that it could be leaking dangerous carbon monoxide into your home. If you see this yellow light, turn off your furnace immediately and call a furnace repair and installation specialist.
